TL;DR: A review of the major salivary glands of humans and rodents can be found in this paper, where the authors describe the macroscopic findings on the salivial glands of rodents and the microscopic differences between those of humans.

TL;DR: The present results suggest that fatty acids, preferably n-3 ones, are intracellularly transported by E-FABP to various targets, including mitochondria and nucleus, in which PPARβ/δ may play functional roles in the transcriptional regulation of genes involved in the endochondral ossification.

TL;DR: The results suggest that septoclasts are originated from pericytes and involved in the blood vessel invasion during formation of the primary ossification center.

TL;DR: In mice of both RA excess and VA deficiency, septoclasts decreased in the number and cell size in association with shorter and lesser processes than those in normal mice, suggesting a substantial suppression of resorption by sePToclasts in the GP cartilage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated morphological changes in immunostained myoepithelial cells (MECs) using the anti-α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) antibody in operated or non-operated contralateral (NC) submandibular glands after partial or total resection.
